I am currently completing an independent study on the history of tourism and contemporary tourism in the Caribbean. I have long had an interest in eco-tourism. For the little research I have done, Dominica seems to be an island that has not been bombarded with tourists in the way that other islands have been and there seems to be a serious and genuine commitment to maintaining the eco-systems there. I am curious about how eco-tourism is developing and how it affects local communities. I am also curious as to the reasons why certain tourists choose to come to Dominica and what their experiences are like.HENDERSON, Daisy; (Fortune); Residence: Fortune;Graduate Student in Sociology presently at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York.HENDERSON, Leora Dorothy; (Grand Bay); Residence: Canefield, Dominica; Insurance AgentTel: 7674490375Insurance Agency Management; Social Member - Dominica Welfare and Hospital Assistance (DOWHAS); Member - Dominica Horticultural Society; Member - Social League; Member - Life Goes On (Dominica) Inc (Confidential support for people living with and affected by HIV?AIDS in Dominica.HENDERSON, Raymond; (Delices); BA (SMU,2000), BJ (King's-Dalhousie, 2002)Reporter (TV, RADIO, PRINT), Writer, Producer.HENRY, Athenia; (Mahaut); MHRM-Human Resource Management; BBA-Marketing & FinanceTel: 609-239-7664HERMONSTYNE, Dennis G.; (Linden/Guyana); MBATel: 301-955-1001Chairman and CEO of Convergent Technologies Group, Inc.
